Program Note:
Adverbial locutions in French, which I often use as titles, often have the wonderful characteristic of containing several meanings. Jusqu’à peu means both until recently and until barely or until a little. The piece is indeed a crisis composition: covid crisis, midlife crisis, Ukrainian crisis, climate crisis. All these crises, which have been lining up in a new pace for the last few years, have comparable characteristics: They emerge slowly, without being expected, and then explode in an uncontrolled way, often leaving a bitter and disillusioning aftertaste, if not despair, death and destruction. The climate crisis will perhaps be the last of these crises, challenging notions of human progress and perhaps leading to ultimate extinction. Written for one of the most sophisticated instruments in human music, the piece remains on the symbolic level of these different crises, but follows the form and spirit of this emergence and decline.

Jusqu'à peu, for organ (two musicians)

Ancient Greek text: 
Πρὸ τοῦ ἐμβῆναι ἐν βάθει εἰς τοιαῦτα μυστήρια, γνώθι:
ὁ παντοδύναμος νέος θεός ἡμῶν μεταβάλλει τὸν ἄνθρωπον 
πρὸς πηλόν πάλιν.
ὦ Δὶa
Ὦ Δὶa, ἄκουσον τὰς προσευχὰς τὰς κλαίουσας,
ἀναστῆθι ἐκ σήψεως, ἵνα γένωμαι τὸ παιδίον σου!
Ἔσο ὑπόσχεσίς μου!
Ἄκουε.
Ἄκουε, νεφέλωμα τοῦ ὑψίστου οὐρανοῦ,
ὡς γαυγίζει ὥσπερ πεινών κύων.
Μακάριος ἐστὶν ὁ δουλεύων τῷ Διὶ.
ὦ Δὶa
ὦ Δὶa
————————
English translation:
Before entering deeply into such mysteries, know:
our almighty new god turns man back into mud 
ὦ Zeus 
ὦ Zeus, listen to my weeping prayers,
rise from decay, so that I give birth to your child!
That's my promise!
Listen.
Listen, to the nebula of the heavenly highest sky,
as it howls like a hungry dog.
Blessed is he who works for Zeus.
ὦ Zeus
ὦ Zeus
